Ubuntu Maverick DLNA Server - MediaTomb (fix: for Samsung Devices)

To setup a DLNA media server (watch videos, music, pictures on a networked AV Device) on Ubuntu:

#apt-get install mediatomb
#/etc/init.d/mediatomb start

Using web browser, navigate to http://localhost:49152 and setup your paths to media files on your machine. Start viewing content on your TV / BD Players!

Further Help here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MediaTomb

For Samsung devices: they need a header hack so add this section to the Mediatomb /etc/mediatomb/config.xml (found here):

<custom-http-headers>
 <add header="transferMode.dlna.org: Streaming"/>
 <add header="contentFeatures.dlna.org: DLNA.ORG_OP=01;DLNA.ORG_CI=0;DLNA.ORG_FLAGS=01700000000000000000000000000000"/>
</custom-http-headers>

Problems with Samsung 3D glasses losing sync?

Do you have a problem with your Samsung 3D glasses losing sync? I was having an issue where the glasses where losing its sync every few minutes (3D fading, switching eyes, etc) due to too much IR crosstalk and interference. I fixed it by doing the following:

- Cut a small section of electrical tape as big as the sensor on the front of the glasses (the little rectangle in between the eyes)
- Place the electrical tape over the sensor leaving just a small sliver of the sensor exposed on the bottom edge.
- Turn on and enjoy a stable 3D picture.
